It feels like poison
slowly dripping down,
covering their skin,
making their veins prickle.
She loves him for all that she shouldn't,
she loves that he doesn't bend to break
and that she never could wrap him around her fingers
Her eyes narrow,
and yet all that she wants is him
even as her world bends and snaps
He's the only one here
that would deny her anything,
and he denies her nearly everything,
and yet what he gives makes her heart race
like nothing else
Akito breathes him in,
because it's all that her heart will let her do.
